Short Answer

Consider a 4×4 matrix A with rows v1,v2,v3,v4. If , find the determinants in Exercises 11 through 16.

12. localid="1659509477853" det[v1v2v3v4]

Therefore, the determinant of given determinant matrix is given by,

detv1v2v3v4=-8

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition

A determinant is a unique number associated with a square matrix.

A determinant is a scalar value that is a function of the entries of a square matrix.

It is the signed factor by which areas are scaled by this matrix. If the sign is negative the matrix reverses orientation.

Step 2: Given

Given determinant,

det(A)=8detv1v2v3v4

Step 3: To find determinant

To determine,

detv1v2v3v4=-detv1v2v3v4detv1v2v3v4=-det(A) .detv1v2v3v4=-8
